[Marxism] The reach of "Fahrenheit 9/11"

[Derek Seidman <derekseidman@xxxxxxxxx>]

My friend Josh Frank, who is a regular contributor to
Counterpunch, Left Turn, Left Hook (and is author of
the upcoming book "Left Out: How Liberals did Bush's
Work for Him" from Common Courage Press) is from a
small, ultra-conservative town in Montana. Though he's
living in New York City now, his family is still back
there. The local theatre is showing "Fahrenheit 9/11",
and there was a front page article in yesterday's
Billings Gazette (the paper of this town), quoting his
father (who himself is self-described moderate swing
voter):

   "As he left the theater, Dean Frank said the film
should make people "sit back and think."

   "I don't think it was pro-Democrat or
pro-Republican," Frank said. "I think it was telling
about the power establishment.""

Josh told me that the film not only galvanized his
father to vote against Bush, and to look into a third
party candidate (possibly Nader).

I recommend everyone check out the whole article to
see just one example of the amazing impact of this
film:
